Dell 5K display

Welp, 5K is a thing now... http://www.anandtech.c​om …rasharp-monitor-5120x2880

A 14 Megapixel display for $2,500, when it was the same price for 4K just months ago, but twice as many pixels now. Progress eh?

I wonder if these will share underpinnings with the next apple cinema display?

The current problem with high DPI displays is software that is able to scale correctly to work on them.
I wouldn't want to use photoshop on something that high in resolution just yet.

This is more of an OS problem than the fault of the display, after so many years spent at resolutions ranging from 1024x768 to 1920x1080, a sudden 3-4x multiplication of even the highest resolutions is something the programmers never anticipated.
Here's hoping that with Windows 9 the whole scaling concept has be re-thought, or at least implements one of several resolution-independent scaling technologies that have been around for a while now.

It's more than OS problem, its a software UI problem.

Even if the OS scales, the software either has to use that scaling, or do it's own.
The current version of Photoshop CC has beta scaling mode, but it is not adjustable, and doesn't really work very well.
